The growth of the infrastructure industry in India has fuelled a healthy demand for pre-engineered buildings (PEB). PEB buildings are pre-fabricated steel frames or beams designed and manufactured in the factory of the PEB supplier; and eventually assembled at the site of construction. The steel structures or beams are formed by welding steel plates together. These are then bolted together to form the entire frame of the prefabricated metal buildings.

This new technology is quite prevalent in the west. However, PEB in India has also caught on and is well on the way becoming a standard in Indian constructions; and growing at 30%. One of the pioneers and foremost names in manufacturing companies of PEB is Interarch Buildings. With a presence in India since 1984, Interarch is a most respected PEB manufacturer in the country. Apart from prefab buildings, Interarch is also known for their path-breaking innovation in metal roof and wall systems, under the brand name of TRACDEK. A metal roof is made from metal piece, or tiles; and can be applied over an existing roof. The same material used for metal roofs can be used for siding as well. Interarch’s metal roofing and false ceiling have widespread application in residential and commercial buildings.

The Advantages of the Metal Roofing are:

1. Durability: Metal roofing is far more durable than conventional mortar roofs, sometimes up to 100 years. These can be coated with special paint to minimize fading, shedding dirt and resist the growth of fungus. TRACDEK® from one of the top profile sheeting companies in India, is manufactured in a high quality Galvalume® steel, galvanized steel and aluminum with organic coatings for long life; even in coastal areas where the salty air results in higher corrosion.

2. Metal rooftops with coatings, colours and patterns offer extensive design flexibility. TRACDEK is available in Hi-Rib, Klippon and SS-2000 profiles.

3. There is no denying the strength of metal roofing. It is the most lightweight roofing product - a crucial benefit in seismic areas like India. This also reduces the load on the main PEB structure. TRACDEK® is known for its excellent ability to withstand excessive load.

4. 75% of heat enters a house from the roof and only 25% from the walls due to direct and longest exposure to solar radiation. This heat is absorbed by the roof and the house ceiling that causes the temperature to rise within the house. Consequently, air-conditioning is required to cool down the living space. Metal roofs reflect heat effectively, thus minimizing heat of absorption. TRACDEK roof systems can be effectively used in combination for optimal thermal characteristics, leading to lowering of air conditioning costs.

5. In addition, metal roofs are fire resistant and environmental friendly. Like all Interarch’s steel buildings, the TRACDEK roof and wall system too is 95% recyclable.
Innovation in technology and design, couple with quality construction has made Interarch one of the top metal construction companies in India. It ranks topmost among the prefabricated structures manufacturer with numerous prestigious projects for satisfied clients.
